Today the sun is shining and after reading the mail God came and gave the thoughts concerning youth who have or will graduate from College. Specifically Purdue University and a specific Church on campus by the name of Purdue University Campus House. Their news letter is full of pictures and comments on what happened in the past school year. Here is a comment from the news letter: "There are about 36 weeks in a school year, and if you count up every organized event on our calendar, it's over 500 activities! Every one of them is there to reach out to and support Purdue students in their relationship with God." During the school year they held 4 Church services each and every Sunday, they held a lunch and fellowship of 250 international students, they held a 24 hour retreat in Indianapolis to connect with some new faces, they held a week of prayer, services and brainstorming as body about how to make a difference on campus, they held dozens of service project, toy drive, big brother and sister, and lots of community support, through the women's ministry through retreat, luncheon, and many individual events, and went on mission trips to Mexico, an Arizona reservation, Thailand, Jamaica, and Uganda.
My pray for the graduates is to find a job, to be leaders in the Church they will attend, continue doing what they did while at the Campus House in fellowshiping, service and pray, and being an example of Jesus Christ in their daily lives. These graduates are the future leaders of Churches in the United States and throughout the world. May we give them the encouragement and leadership they need as they grown in their walk with the Lord.

What an amazing picture! I too have been thinking about the college and high school graduates. What a world we have left for them to "graduate" into adulthood to. I have a neighbor whose daughter is graduating high school and then off to college in the fall. They can not afford to pay her tuition so they, and her guidance councelor, have led her to taking out all the student loans available. I tried to encourage a stay at home, work full time and go to a local branch college on a part time basis to discourage the student loan trap. And if the loan thing is not bad enough, she is going to Ohio University - a school known for their "party" degree. I will continue to pray for her and her safety. Thank you for sharing such an interesting picture.
What awesome activities they provide for their students!
